Will Robots Surpass the Earth’s Population?


Elon Musk's recent loud statement at the Saudi Arabia FII summit is thought-provoking. As usual, his forecasts are mind-boggling - 10 billion humanoid robots by 2040! Let's take a look at this calmly, without unnecessary emotion.


First things first: the price of $20-25 thousand per robot looks quite realistic, given the pace of technological development. It's like a good mid-range car. But the quantity... Honestly, the figure of 10 billion robots seems too optimistic to me.


What's really interesting is the forecast for the development of national AI models. Here I tend to agree with Musk. We are already seeing how different countries are striving for technological sovereignty in the field of AI. This is logical and inevitable.


But the estimate of Tesla's potential value at $25 trillion thanks to the Optimus robot... Well, Elon has always been famous for his bold statements. Although, who knows? Twenty years ago, few believed in the success of private space companies.


What really worries me is: are we ready for such a future? Not from a technical point of view, but from a social and ethical one. How will the labor market change? How will the relationship between people and robots be built?


My opinion: technological evolution is inevitable, but the pace that Musk predicts seems too high. The reality will probably be somewhere in the middle between today and his bold predictions.

  Meme Coins Lifted Solana—Now They’re Dragging It Down Last year, Solana surged ahead, even outpacing Ethereum in transaction volume. Some experts saw it as the driving force behind the next altseason, with the potential to replace Ethereum as the dominant smart contract platform. As the Solana-Ethereum rivalry intensified, unexpected events unfolded across the crypto market. But now? Solana’s decline is hard to ignore. It’s not just dipping with the market—it’s falling faster. The same meme coins that propelled Solana to new heights in 2023 and 2024 are now a major factor in its decline. The CAR token, hyped by the President of the Central African Republic, and $LIBRA, promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei as a tool for economic growth, both launched only to crash spectacularly—leaving investors burned and eroding trust in the market. These scandals have further damaged Solana’s reputation, associating it with scams, rug pulls, wash trading, and market manipulation. The sa...

  Have the Gold Reserves Worth $425 Million Disappeared? Elon Musk Questions the Integrity of Fort Knox A month ago Donald Trump ordered the declassification of records related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Conspiracy theories have long surrounded these events. But another long-standing mystery surrounds the gold reserves in Fort Knox. The latest wave of speculation was sparked by Elon Musk. The billionaire asked a simple yet unsettling question: How do we know the gold is still there? Fort Knox is supposed to hold $425 billion worth of gold, but who has actually verified this? Musk doubts its existence and suggests a live video walkthrough to prove it.  His statements ignited heated discussions in social media with the public demanding greater transparency. Even a U.S. senator was denied access when he requested to inspect the facility.  Fort Knox is a U.S. Army base in Kentucky located next to the United States Bu...

  Digital childhood: how smartphones have reprogrammed the social skills of zoomers Instead of yard games and live communication — endless social media feeds and notifications that beep faster than a heartbeat after morning coffee. The zoomer generation grew up surrounded by smartphones, and this has not only changed their behavior — it has reprogrammed the very structure of their socialization. Fifteen years ago, a smartphone was a novelty, and today it is an extension of the hand. But behind the convenience lies another side: anxiety, depression, and a growing dependence on virtual recognition. The statistics are frightening: the level of depression among teenagers has increased by 50%, and the number of suicides is even higher. And these are not just numbers, this is the reality of the new digital generation. Once upon a time, children learned to communicate, argue, make peace, and make decisions in the yard or during school breaks. Now the main field for this “training” is soci...
